No food to blog about tonight, since we ate a very late lunch. At work we had Izzo's fabulous burritos catered in, but they were all pre-wrapped, and they all had beef or chicken in them. Doh! So I called Brad, and on his way home from class, he swung by Izzo's, got us a couple vegan burritos, and we ate lunch together at my office at 2:00. What a sweetie!
Tonight we are taking the kids to see LSU Theater's production of High School Musical. Should be fun! Brad is dreading it, but the kids and I are looking forward to it. I'll admit, I hated the movie the first time I watched it with the kids, but it has totally grown on me, and I love the songs now.
To keep the Vegan MOFO theme going, though, I wanted to share some of the stranger comments I've received since going vegan.
"What are you...a PETA freak?"
- bank teller
"Shame on you!"
- my boss (I KNOW!)
"You can still eat chicken/fish/pork/seafood, right?"
- many, many, many people
"Wow, you're the first actual vegetarian I've met in real life!"
- a colleague
"I've heard of vegetarian before. What does it mean?"
- grocery store cashier
"SOY milk?? What's a soy?"
- woman at the grocery store
"What kind of foods does a veejun eat?"
- various people
"You don't eat meat or dairy? What DO you eat?"
- even more people
Hey, at least people are becoming somewhat informed from my answers, right? I'll admit to having some of the same attitudes about it in the past, so I can't really judge. Turnabout is fair play, right?
More veejun food to come later this weekend! ; )

What's with the "food slut" title?
Simple. I was initially going to go with "food whore" until Brad pointed out that "whores do it for the money, but sluts do it because they like it". Awesome.
Food slut, tell us about yourself!
How kind of you to ask!
I'm Cheryl, and I'm a food slut. I love food. I love cooking it, eating it, photographing it, staring at it, writing about it and reading about it. Cookbooks are one of my favorite things to read, and I'm known to scatter them around the house so I always have one to browse through, regardless of where I am. There are few things I find more enjoyable than ambling through a grocery store (particularly gourmet shops, or those in foreign countries) and checking out the products. I'm a slut, all right!
Besides being a food slut, I'm also a wife and mom. I'm 33years old, and have been married seven years to Brad, a man who loves food as much as I do. We have two fabulous little girls who love to help out in the kitchen. I've lived in Washington state (18 years, broken up into chunks of time here and there), California(3 years), Spain(7 years), Japan(4 years), Louisiana (1 year), and just recently moved to central New York, which I've already fallen deeply in love with.
This blog serves as a place for me to share my recipes with others, to make notes about different things I cook, and also as a means for me to corral all of my recipes in one place for easy reference.

I think we know a lot of the same people.
People always want me to tell them why I won't eat meat, usually while they are stuffing a burger into their gob...I politely warn them it's not pretty, and if they press on, I tell them- EVERYTHING.
muahaha!
I worked at a farmer's market this past summer for a bakery that sold "vee-jun" "ve-gaan" "vejun" and other varieties of non-animal containing products :).
